Ponty Bone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ponty Bone is a Texan accordionist who has led his band, the Squeezetones to international popularity over a twenty year period.
Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Bone began studying accordion when he was only 5 years old. Later, he learned to play trumpet also. Ponty attended Texas Tech in Lubbock.
With his band, Ponty has shared the stage with such artists as The Clash, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, King Flaco Jimenez, Linda Ronstadt and Ronnie Lane.
Bone's new album, "Fantasize", (on the Loud House label) has been described as drawing from Tex-Mex, rock, blues, R & B, zydeco, and even Caribbean music to create a whole new style.
